Shooting progress 3: Little Red Riding Hood


Little Red Riding Hood's costume is very distinctive and recognisable, therefore we had to include the infamous red hooded cape and the basket in order for our audience to understand which female protagonist we are portraying, thereby presenting what fairy-tale we are filming. We also took inspiration from the modern adaptation of the fairy-tale in which enabled us to see how the protagonist is represented to appeal to modern audiences in which will be of a similar age to our audiences. The red lipstick, as seen in both of the above, links to the lyrics thus conforming to Goodwin's Theory, by suggesting a "femme fatale" look which presents her as a warrior like in the song.
 We ensured that a lot of close-ups were featured in order to present certain aspects of the characters costume that makes her Little Red Riding Hood. We filmed shots of her hood, such as over the shoulder and extreme close-ups and we also used extreme close-ups of her basket and tracking shots. From this, our audience can clearly see what we are portraying.
In order to reflect the upbeat tune of the song that we are filming the music video for, we featured many shots of her skipping, which we will edit to feature close-up shots and over the shoulder shots, so that many angles are featured so as to entertain the audience by adding variety.

  1. Excellent evidence of the shoot. Make sure you endeavour to link your ideas to other music videos, or films etc.

    Go to Florence and the Machine's "Rabbit Heart - Raise it Up" which is also based on imagery from Alice in Wonderland with pre Raphaelite imagery. It may help you to google images for Pre-Raphaelite paintings, this may help you with lighting and aspects of composition and camera angles and shots.
